Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new and improved web processing system for processing a continuous web of material into folded sheets. The system includes a web handling arrangement, a cutting arrangement, and two folding arrangements. The system can use a single continuous web of material to produce multiple sets of folded sheets simultaneously, which reduces the need for a single web handling arrangement. The folding arrangements can form folded sheets of different types and can operate simultaneously. The system can also include a transfer roll and a method for directing sheets to different folding arrangements. The technical effects of this invention include improved efficiency, flexibility, and the ability to produce a wide variety of folded sheets.

Problems solved by technology

Further, while these systems form a relatively small product, to provide large volume production the systems themselves are often very large.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an embodiment of a web processing system 100 used to form stacks of folded sheets from a web-like product. The folded sheets may be interfolded where each folded sheet has individual panels inserted between panels of upstream and downstream folded sheets or simply stacked (also referred to as “non-interfolded”) where folded sheets do not have panels inserted between upstream and downstream folded sheets.

[0046]The system is designed to maximize the capacity of the web handling arrangement 102 that handles and processes the web-like product in its continuous form prior to being cut into individual sheets. The web handling arrangement 102 supplies the continuous web of material to a cutting arrangement 104, which will form individual sheets of web-like product. The individual sheets of web-like product are then separated into multiple individual streams of sheets. A first stream of sheets is operably arranged and sent to a first folding arran...

Abstract

A web processing system is provided. The web processing system supplies a processed continuous web of material to a cutting arrangement. The cutting arrangement forms sheets from the continuous web of material. The sheets are then supplied to multiple folding arrangements such that a single web of material is used to supply sheets to multiple folding arrangements.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention generally relates to systems for folding or interfolding sheets of web like product, such as paper towels, napkins, facial tissues or the like.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are many products, as exemplified by paper tissue, toweling and napkins, etc., which are commonly provided to consumers in stacked form as packs of folded or interfolded individual sheets. These packs of stacked sheets are often staple items which must be produced at very low cost. Producing such products at low cost typically requires the use of systems that use high-speed processes and equipment.[0003]These systems will typically convert one or more continuous webs of product that will be cut into sheets, folded or interfolded, separated into individual stacks, and then packaged. To reduce costs, it is important to maximize the efficiency of all equipment within the system such that all components are being operated at or near peak capacity.[0004]Further, whil...
